Changed Perspective of Life

6^th July 2013 a day that gave each and every Nasrite of class 11 a new and different experience. Entering the gates of the Missionaries of Charity, Musheerabad nobody had ever thought that this would be the day which would stun, surprise and make us experience the emotions of happiness and sadness simultaneously.

When we initially started from the school, everybody gathered with a mindset of just completing the SUPW community work and head back home. Nobody had ever thought that they would experience something as heart touching and wrenching as this.

The Missionaries of Charity is a home for the sick and dying destitute. It accommodates 40 male patients and 61 female patients. There are 6 considerate sisters to take care and a 5 member staff for maintenance. As we entered the gates of the Charity we received an overwhelming reaction from the inmates of the home. There were tears of happiness in the eyes of few of them which made us feel good. But at the same time their suffering made us sad. The purpose of our visit to this institution was to bring happiness. We danced, sang songs , interacted, played and spent time with the wonderful people of the trust. There were a few schoolmates who could not hold back their emotions and did shed tears. But they did not do it in front of them as our girls were there with a mission- TO SPREAD HAPPINESS AND NOT GRIEF.

The school helpers at Nasr work every day to make sure that we study in a clean environment. We thought it was about time that we showed them how grateful we are and how much we respected them. Hence, the programme ‘Gratefully yours’ came into force.

  The programme ‘Gratefully yours’ was organized for all the school helpers by the students and teachers of ninth grade. This was our way of expressing that we are sincerely thankful for their untiring support and love.

Each student was allotted a duty. It was either cooking or cleaning or the entertainment. All the classes from first grade to the eleventh grade were cleaned.

Few girls cooked for all the helpers. We made sure that everyone was well served and went home content. Right after they had lunch, we started with the entertainment programme. .

We made them play games; we had two group dances and a skit. They enjoyed themselves immensely and were very happy. We also gave them a token of appreciation. All the lady helpers were given one meter blouse piece and two dozen bangles each. The male helpers were given a towel. After this we ended our fun filled afternoon. We asked a few of them how they felt about everything we had done for them. All of them had something good to say and the look of happiness in their eyes spoke a million words!
